a taser reading from the deadliest terror attack on its campus all in a decade a car bomb exploded at the central market of the deck of cars on thursday morning killing seventeen and injuring more than one hundred sixty and while investigators are examining how local police stopped a compact with explosives allowed this is sad moment to pass through leading to tragedy and she's like someone. cries louder than sirens but no fear just the time eleven twenty four on the watches of those who perished in the central market in logic of course it was and so's day when a suicide bomber drove his silver car to its entrance gates he was said to become during a routine check of the car but reluctant to open the trunk but a security guard as long big clear insisted. he put the key in the trunk lock turned it maybe once or twice the key broken his hands iceland big had the man turned around and moved away from the crowded entrance a minute later a powerful explosion shook the area as long big heard the cries and rushed to the

scene. i saw a lot of cars blown to pieces and a lot of bodies i had no real fear i just felt sorry for the people who died or got injured especially a young mother with her child i saw them just before the explosion a young girl was coming in with a kid and little kid as soon as she got inside the blasts happened. a little went to the market the day with his entire family it said he was quarreling with his brother dog riding their bike so his grandmother promised to buy him a new one but a moment later they were killed by the blast so. i went inside but they stayed at the entrance suddenly there was an explosion i lost one of my children and my mother my wife and another kid are in hospital there were many people there it was scary no we'll know and his grandmother yes i'm on lie side by side the

government's closed the house of the survivor stricken by the loss. this is a father and his one and a half year old son who died and this is his wife she was injured legs and hands and this is the woman who died. candles commemorate the dead in which he got because people here mourn their loved ones and have been given blood to help the injured for tania who has arrived in the form of a new born son but before the birth she too had to leave through the tragedy. to the brooch. a powerful explosion went off. right away honestly i didn't understand it was a negative terror or anything like that. people covered. in their own right too when i was afraid of a second blast. too scared for the last hope to get to be born son to t.n. i didn't notice that she herself was injured and it was not the piece of metal in

her knee that was on her mind. i was afraid that nothing was moving in slow and then after some time he started moving when i was home to one taken care of and baby sleeping beside her to jenin now is occupied will begin in the improve a little one as was logic of course itself she still needs some time to get back to normal life this penetrating logic of cars is far deeper than this shell hole left by that deadly car blast as days parts people slowly start mending their lives for sun like that newborn baby it could be a bridge to a new life but for many this horrible attack will be engraved on their hearts forever. are oh my god that's. the bombing that north ossetia has been followed by a string of terror operations of the caucasus region ten militants have been killed in two separate incidents in another volatile russian republic dagestan

a gunman word besieged in a house and the republic's capital they refused to surrender and opened fire on the police elsewhere two militants were killed in another drug a stunning village before being killed a short top local official who. actually as a negotiate. an expert say militants in the north caucuses are part of an international network and political scientist dr willett for rose says the bombing in north acetic is no different from other suicide bombings anyway in the world. this attack suicide attack in the northern caucuses is not just a local attack by a local terrorist we've seen this before it has a history at that by the hardest movement linked to al qaida worldwide inside russia in dagestan in chechnya in this part of the caucasus as we see around the world whatever you have suicide bombers you see also a threat against international democracy and freedom. that is political scientist

dr weil and for us this weekend marks nine years since the deadliest terror attack in history almost three thousand people were killed on september eleventh in new york and mistrust of islam spread among many in the u.s. but despite that tens of thousands of americans decided to become muslims since the tragedy. went to find out why. it's the call to prayer and it's answered by more than a billion muslims all over the world including caitlin billings a twenty two year old american who was raised christian converted last year my mother. was crying a lot of thought that i was returning her by changing my religion backtrack almost a decade ago to nine eleven today our fellow citizens our way of life are very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist attacks president bush waged

a war on terror targeting extremists muslims who were labeled as terrorists you know i was fourteen when september eleventh happened so i didn't really know what was going on if that really was you know people thought it was so i believe just like everybody else but as billings got older she decided to find out for herself and her investigation led her to the mistah a center a mosque just outside of washington d.c. that has become a haven for many americans like billings who have found a new poll found that almost. thirty percent of americans believe that muslims should carry identification cards despite that twenty thousand americans every year decide to convert to islam convert say they don't regret their decision at all around the world since nine eleven muslims have battled bands of their religious clothing profiling in airports and discrimination in their everyday lives after joining a class to learn more about islam carl dodge also decided to become a muslim one of the big jokes that i've always made is before i actually set down

the class and open my code on everything i knew about islam i had learned from c.n.n. and when it comes to the mainstream media the depiction of converts can be somewhat extreme that pakistani officials have arrested adam gadahn this is the american born spokesman for al qaeda fox's work first there was john walker lindh the californian who converted joined the taliban and then did up fighting with them in afghanistan and then more recently it was jihad jane the blond haired blue eyed convert who allegedly recruited people to wage violent jihad and for many american muslims like dodge and billings the portrayal of converts is disturbing if those upset me a little bit because there's a lot of preconceptions people have been until i actually took the time to open a koran and see what was written you know that was my only impression of islam as what i had seen on t.v. and in the united states they say a culture of islamophobia just doesn't make sense it's

a rights of practice your religion that's what this country was founded on no matter what unfolds around her billing says she's proud to be a muslim if no one in the world wants to talk to me and my friend i saw. a happiness that might not make sense to those around her. to reassure either party annandale virginia. growing into muslim sentiments came to live for that sort of the nine eleven time a month set fire to pages of the koran in ground zero to similar incidents are said to have happened in the state of tennessee it follows a threat by a third opposed to his holy book on the nine eleven anniversary although that was later there were also fresh protests against plans to build a mosque close to the site of the tragedy while supporters of the project also ran a nearby was an american activist. says that since nine eleven has been misconstrued in the us. really with those shows in the most disturbing part

about this debate is it's become in us against them that is the most troubling aspect because we are all americans we're signing collective guilt on the one billion muslims on the acts of nineteen militants that basically defiled islam and practiced a perverted version of islam for a political agenda and now to assign blame all muslims is completely incorrect and inaccurate but i think the great majority here islam because they don't understand it. you know with us here let's take a look at what's ahead here tonight find out how you last saw this so-called prank at an iraqi checkpoint fails to draw any loves from the locals. and famous russian cage fighter turned out to national as it was being held in a psychiatric ward has broken out and is on the run.

a gathering of some of the finest minds from around the world has put the russian. family on the map this week it played host to the global policy forum a brainstorming session bringing together statesmen and strategists investors and innovators because he has been following it. that young which you are in fact if so over and democracy as it turns out is different things to different states but look these here is for many us love a standard democracy and efficiency made it sound alluring even for the kremlin's toughest critics gave some of them the chance to hit the president. to go to church he said listen i strongly disagree with those who say there's no democracy in russia and that there's authoritarian tendencies here it's not true that russia is a democracy beyond any doubt it's young it's immature it's still not perfect and experienced but it's a democracy nonetheless there's a way to go but we're ready to work on it in some countries democracy is being

imposed but it doesn't work that way and we've seen many examples of that but when you talk of democracy in russia is a moot point if the country doesn't more denies itself the key message the president was sending in his speech another major topic was security but russia's been promoting a new vision for european security architecture that it says is vital to avoiding military conflicts similar to that in the south caucasus in two thousand and eight when we look at the muscles that would we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members. other structures my us counterpart president barack obama never avoids discussing this issue he does not say that is harmful or unnecessary but i would suggest that among our american partners a certain jealousy exists with regard to this idea however it is necessary to rise over this jealousy and try to look the truth in the eye without the creation of the system the world will not be able to survive we can help each other here one of the

first who supported the idea of the new european security treaty was italian premier corny but before he could make his point he had to find his words i like to see that i was not very well informed about the topics to be discussed at this forum the section of my administration which has prepared the speech has prepared the room warm that's why i'm passing the stacks to the moderator of this portion of the plenary meeting this presentation doesn't correspond to the discussion here many that evening criticize the us corny for taking more stage time than the host but mitchum it that it didn't seem to mind these hellion prime minister performance definitely spiced up but forced a formal session. for two days this stadium turned into a lib or a tree where some of the world's best minds attempted to find a formula balancing three elements democracy modernization and efficiency did they come up with a single formula of course they didn't but what they agreed upon is no matter what

the proportion if a country wants to move forward it needs all three elements in the mix exiting the church of r.t.e. from. all the new european security framework will take years of discussion of reforming the current structure is vital so says professor from new york university . i don't think that there has been a resolution about the proposal for the new european security security treaty but i do think that there is now a relationship of mutual respect between president medvedev and president obama and between the two countries and that includes the other european countries that would have to be partners to any sort of agreement so in my view the discussion has to continue possibly for years before there is a resolution of the disaster would be if any country breaks off the discussion and refuses to keep this process moving forward because we do need to reach an agreement and a new framework so professor craig calhoun from new york university that speaking

at the global policy forum. a forty plane but the fearless pilots there was a miraculous escape this week for a packed russian passenger jet one of crash landed in the middle of a forest in the country's northwest or asia one people on board survived after meeting electrical failure is tom bottom half the story. the heroes of the tiger these are the men the managed to land a crippled jetliner in the middle of the forest and not injure a soul that passengers thankful to be alive we see in the world will only ever in history and ended up in the roots emergency crews arrived to find two week everything was organized very fast asleep if not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. the tupolev one five four was flying at ten

thousand meters on its way to moscow from russia's far east when there was a massive electrical failure the plane lost all automatic navigation and communication its fuel supply and wing flaps were crippled meaning i had to land quickly and at higher than normal speeds even the lights in the cabin and cockpit went out by sight alone the pilots found an abandoned their strip. in the depths of the forest and managed to land on the third attempt. by plane was designed to land on a concrete airstrip and at first we chose a rough strip and decided to land there but during the maneuver by a miracle we caught a glimpse of a concrete strip and although shorter it would be much safer. despite overshooting and plowing through two hundred metres of woodland before stopping all eighty one people on board were evacuated to safety rather milledge can is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his form across a j s. up in the clothes he couldn't even tell others how to chewed or where they

were they only had enough fuel for ten minutes of flight in managing to land that plane he practically did the impossible as with the plane itself investigators are poring over interviews with the crew and witnesses black box recordings and evidence at the site that question what caused such a massive electrical failure providing that do believe what fifty four is not quite the brand your aircraft and i'm sure that the craft was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago where you would more. i believe there is a chance of that we planned it was just more of. a russell airlines which owns the plane says it wasn't aware of any issues before takeoff but added it would never fly together investigators are focusing on mechanical failure rather than pilot error or weather conditions but everyone is expecting the playlets to receive medals they're achieved. in time the technical details of this plane's malfunction

will join all of the others maybe ation history but one thing will always stand out courage and resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to tom awesome awesome awesome. and you can find more on that amazing escape and other stories we've been covering at our website r.t. how com so let's take a look at the bottom line right now. victory cost of the actuary see how the potion is searching for one of the world's most precious foods black callia pushing this sturgeon species to the brink of extinction. plus russia inventors have found a way to prevent drivers from falling asleep at the wheel find out more to. and how it works at r.t. dot com.

a former u.s. soldier has found himself at the center of a scandal after posting a controversial video on you tube sergeant dan sung was discharged after planting grenades in the cause of iraq is that checkpoints then filming their reaction on drivers and all this was supposed to be a prank but as our city's poorest clear reports most iraq is free of just see the funny side. manning a checkpoint all day must get boring which is perhaps why sergeant dunson and his partner emote they pass the time playing jokes on unsuspecting drivers in the posting done some describes how they planted a grenade in an iraqi man's car a few seconds of confusion all's explained and the perplexed but very relieved driver is sent on his way. you know call it. or hour it was that one of those being were you know it happened. on a guy like that on but for most iraqis this is not fun and life here is very far

from being a joke. i think it's only for them to laugh for us it's not funny but very scary. we're used to par bombs explosions research is happening every day but if someone did this to me i would be so scared. as would most people in a country where a checkpoint can often mean the difference between life and death it's not uncommon to have your heart take at least a dozen times a day if you had a needle with what you see here but maybe you'll be arrested on the up and. terrorism. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant dunstan's antics i would not tolerate that and my organization. i don't think that's conducive to gaining. into the partnership with with the federal police or certainly and trusting their confidence and or the people for

that matter and trusting the. trusting in the federal police but i want to a local t.v. stations picked up on the idea. that it takes well known local celebrities to iraqi checkpoints and plays pranks on them in much the same way as dunson and his colleagues produce a national will by a says it's a way to lighten the situation and. we're not making fun of the iraqi forces they're very brave in fighting terror but we wanted to present them in a unique and different way than we also want to present weapons as something people can laugh about even if. there's mixed reaction to the iraqi show but still iraqis making fun of iraqis. a different according to most people here two americans getting in on the act and with people still being killed in iraq every day it was a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter. our tea bag.

this week said they decided not to challenge kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence said the united nations under pressure from the european union belgrade finally agreed to withdraw its initial draft resolution which had called on the secession of course about to be denounced a consensus resolution was unanimously adopted by the un general assembly although belgrade does not recognize kosovo's independence as legitimate at all read the whole direct talks with course of ours on all and resolve matters and this concession followed a push from the e.u. making it clear that said there's wish to join the european union would be jeopardized if it fails to soften its stance on costs about president it's called right or diana johnston says serbia has caved in to the. present turks that i have seen and i have here is not really a compromise i would call it an unconditional surrender to the european union this was not a compromise because from what i've understood the european union did not. in

exchange for this they gave nothing as usual and they'll just be asking for more as they have been for many years serbia is now really very much in the position of france. it's quite an occupied country but it's surrounded and it's sort of occupied and only leader or polish party which would really openly take into consideration serbia's interest is condemned by the worst in media as nationalists look what they have been disclosed love to do it's a word to use the word to get rid of milosevic but when he showed that he was still interested in his country's welfare he was known brand as an extreme notional host and sidelined. coming up next hour here on r.t. as the u.s. military presence on the traffic island of okinawa is prolonged the complaint

against it gets stronger and we'll find out what's being blamed on the american forces that's next. russian police are hunting for a martial arts fighter who has escaped from a psychiatric ward in st petersburg they suspect that sick may be on the run in moscow before being placed in their silent he was disqualified for being too violent in the ring got involved in crime and joined an ultra nationalist movement south five has. the six extreme aggression in the ring scared both his opponents and the public outside the ring murder threats assault robbery and an alleged psychotic breakdown so that's placed in high security psychiatric care but during that time he was able to establish links with an extremist political movement the now banned slavic union. jews are enemies for me and

now he's on the run after receiving a transfer to a new facility that sick was sent here to the drugs and those cells are psychiatric hospital just outside st petersburg those from here that he has state they can see the areas sealed off and there's barbed wire around the perimeter of it certainly not high security his time in psychiatric care was far from the strict rehabilitation that might be expected visits from friends and access to mobile phones and they want him to strengthen relations with nationalist party members and use a sporting nature to gain them followers. actively participated in campaigning for us he helped establish contacts with sportsmen and with the organization to support of the. us from or is head of the unit that monitored down. sick and he tells us that he was no longer considered high risk when he was transferred so what

actually happened on the day that. he went on for a walk with the nurse he took a towel off the washing line and used it to pull out the wire founds our staff were cautious about those they just tore through the wire yes he just rips it are serious questions and now being raised as to how this was able to happen in the first place if there's a failing with the security issues here to enable him to have a skate we don't have special guards or any police security system and our hospital perhaps the police or the courts didn't know the conditions here before they sent him whether the courts the police or the doctors who assessed him are to blame for the eva state that's it has received strong support from his new friends. we were amused i wouldn't tell you where he was even if i knew anything i'm not going to help look for him. his high profile will make it hard for doubt sick to hide for long.
